Who cares?” when writing, and try to answer the question. There were different templates mentioned in the chapter to help us use the concept correctly. “So what” question can be difficult to answer, but it is important to make it sound persuasive so the reader feel excitement when reading the piece. In the other hand, “who cares” question is easy to answer because you only need to identify a person or a group, and discuss some details about their opinions.

    Why Johnny Can T Write Analysis

    Each article has an opponent in which they present to testify “Why Johnny can't write” scapegoat is the student's environment, experience and the student themselves. Clive’s one to blame is the people that are actually criticizing the influence of recent generations decline in work ethic, as they listed “Pundits Fretting once again” (Paragraph 1) Attitudes and/ or values of a reader or writer go hand in hand that further moves the audience in a certain direction if the audience follows.

    Citizens United Rhetorical Analysis

    In January 2008, appellant Citizens United, a nonprofit corporation, released a documentary (hereinafter Hillary) critical of then- Senator Hillary Clinton, a candidate for her party’s Presidential nomination. Anticipating that it would make Hillary available on cable television through video-on-demand within 30 days of primary elections, Citizens United produced television ads to run on broadcast and cable television. Concerned about possible civil and criminal penalties for violating §441b, it sought declaratory and injunctive re- lief, arguing that (1) §441b is unconstitutional as applied to Hillary; and (2) BCRA’s disclaimer, disclosure, and reporting requirements, BCRA §§201 and 311, were unconstitutional as applied to Hillary and the ads. The District Court denied Citizens United a prelimi- nary injunction and granted appellee Federal Election Commission (FEC) summary judgment.…

    Bartholomae Argument Analysis

    Often, many students write unaware of the readers understanding or even unaware that there is an audience. For the record, there’s always an audience. So to, many teachers teach unaware of the writers understanding or even unaware that there are different experiences for all student writers. For the record, all students are not all the same. While, in fact the expert writer, writes for the reader. The expert writer, understands the reader’s position and the knowledge of the reader, most of the time. Much like the late Muhammad Ali, always anticipating the opponent’s next move and always ready to respond, so to, the expert writer always anticipating the assumptions and biases of the audience.

Trimming it down to a select few (my audience) is sometimes hard to do. I really have to sit back and examine the message I am trying to get across, and determine who really needs to read what I have to present, and who will benefit the most from it. This also works its way into including logos, ethos and…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of 'The New Literacy' By Clive Thompson

    The Clive Thompson article is aimed at showing the development of new literacy where students are learning how to write for a specific audience and making a good essay. The new literacy, according to Thompson, has been facilitated by the internet-enabled social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as they have increased the number of writings modern-day students make. Also, these kinds of writings have enabled the students to understand how writings should be made: with a specific audience in mind. To pass the message of the development of a new literacy, Thompson uses the three types of rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos and pathos to persuade his audience into supporting his assertions.…
